Joel James’ role as emotional rock takes toll
Posted Feb 19, 2015
Joel James has forged his fame on the sideline. The 6-foot-10 forward has compiled a catalog of celebrations and all but trademarked the menacing mean mugs he unleashes on unsuspecting opponents. James doesn’t wear his emotions on his sleeve so much as his emotions wear him as their vessel. It’s a tough task to be a team’s emotional rock, but James has embraced it.
